Selsie

Welcome to you Waterglade. Im a newbie to the site, a great place to be !!!!!

Maybe time for Barnes to take a lead if they can, surely at least 1 or 2 hire companies will jump at the chance to help a 'captive audience' maybe even offer preferential rates to solo boaters ????? Just a thought

Lucky bugger lol

Have to say its our second boat in a few months as Lulu decided the first one wasn't big enough, this one is a really lovely craft, for the record, it was Lulu who dragged me into boat ownership (and really glad she did) its our perfect 'Time Out' place. A bit more work and we will have a wonderful boat, we will be at the meet in May, see you there !!

On the 'Landlord' point, its always hard to leave the hard work at the office, hope you gave him hell. LOL

Ah well, that's spoiled a potential comedy moment

As the other arf (Lulu) says, look forward to seeing your progress

Hi Jacquie, Welcome to the forum, I'm fairly new, its a great place.

Super boat, cosy and warm together, keep us up dated with progress.

I think the combination of Maxwellian's idea of a brass plaque and Lulu's of the Crews names would be very apt. All in favour raise a glass

Why don't the BA consider paying the toll like we do with car RFL (Tax) you buy on line, pay for the year and if you change or sell your boat it is cancelled and you get a refund, then have to tax your new boat? Pretty simple, if it works for a few 10's of millions of cars it should work for a few thousand boats. Just a thought !!!!!!

Totally agree, I am guilty of not thinking about the crews loved ones, they must have gone through the mill. Congrats to all of them

Shouldn't you be working girly,,,,,,,, lol

Yeah griff, just spotted Pilot boat ti Indy's stern on the tracker

I take it 'The Rascal' is Skippering on her last leg ?

Hi Griff, I think you will get your reward in weatherspoons, and you'll have the memories forever. Your one tough bloke, with a superb crew. experience and guts, a great combination, congratulations to all involved with 'Team Indy'

Brilliant Pics Quo, I feel there will be a lot of salt to rub off a certain boat tomorrow !!!!

All round a fantastic adventure, with its ups and downs (quite literally) I feel for Robin who missed a leg and the Indy Crew who have to leave before she arrives in Brundall. But take heart that between you all and that's everyone included, the members that took the video and photos, the crew, all the people that got Indy ship shape, all the members that sent encouragement and congratulations, comments and all the banter, IT WAS WORTH IT. I'm a new member who has followed 'The Captains blog' ever since we bought our first boat, my other half 'Lulu' is a full member (so only right I joined) you Guys and Girls have more than likely encouraged more people to keep boating and living their dreams than any other event. Thank you all Selsie

To late just cracked a bottle !!!!

Saw it this morning grendel, I'm guessing around a frame a second

Hi, I'm a new member (joined today) but have been following Robin and the intrepid Team Indy from the start. Just like to say, thanks and congrats to all involved, happy home coming to Independence. BTW, you did the right thing Robin.

Hi, Thought I'd sign up as I have been logging in as a guest for some time and viewing the various posts and topics. I am the other half of Lulu, (already a full member) we have as some of you will know a Falcon 27 on the broads and enjoy every minute of it. Thanks to all who post, I know there is a mountain of knowledge out there to tap into. Cheers and happy boating
